"(Pertalite) did not increase," said Arifin briefly when met at the Office of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Jakarta, Friday, September 15.
Arifin added that price adjustments have been made to n0n-subsidized fuel such as Pertamax RON 92 to Rp13,300 per liter, Pertamax Green E5 (RON 95) to Rp15,000 per liter, Pertamax turbo (RON 98) to Rp15,900 per liter.
